Tips For Passing Your CPR Certification On The First Try

1. OK the first tip is a no-brainer but the truth is most people have to re-take their certification because they fail to so this. STUDY. Yes, torture yourself and study! Study your notes, study any review material that is applicable and be creative. You don’t have to be super creative just make some flash cards and carry them around with, heck there is probably an app for that! In all seriousness anything worth learning is going to take some effort, CPR training is one of those things that might be called into action one and you may end up saving someone’s life. One more tip – try and find a study guide that will outline the major concepts that you should understand with CPR training.

2. The second tip is equally as dry, boring… what have you but equally as important: STUDY YOUR MANUAL! At this point you understand that this is not exciting stuff, I know but to successfully navigate your way through CPR, BLS or a First Aid class you must know the material. The language and vocabulary in the handbook may not be every day verbiage so it may be a little challenging to pass the exam if you do not read the manual and become familiar with the handbook vocabulary.

3. The third tip is dress comfortably for your CPR class. You may be getting down on the floor or you might be practicing CPR techniques outdoors but either way practicing CPR is a labor intensive evolution. A CPR classroom can sometimes feel like a work out room with all the sweating, huffy and puffy that goes on during training. So dress comfortably so that you can focus on the course at hand.

4. The fourth tip is a little sneaky! No, not really, but it does feel a little bit like cheating! No not really but let’s try and make this a little exciting, right! Take several practice exams! Practice exams not only get your mind conditioned to taking the test therefore lowing any anxiety you may experience during the exam but it will also expose any weak areas that you may have. Knowing what you are good at is beneficial but know your weaknesses is even mire beneficial. So take as many practice exams as you can handle, you won’t regret it.

5. The fifth tip may be a little abstract in away, especially because most people do not won their own CPR dummies but it would help to become as familiar as possible with your CPR compressions. Here is the main thing to know and remember about CPR compressions – THEY SHOULD BE HARD AND FAST. So since you don’t have a CPR dummy just review as much material as possible about the compression technique before you attend class.

6. The sixth tip that I have for you is very key but it might disturb some of you introverts. It is very helpful to actively participate during you CPR class. Remember the old saying that “the only dumb question is the one that you don’t ask”, well it’s true in most cases so pipe up if you aren’t totally getting a hold of what the CPR instructor is teaching.

7. The seventh and last tip for the day is another old exam tip: Get eight hours and have a good breakfast. Seriously common sense but very effective at putting your mind and body into full fledged learning mode.
